So far I have stayed here for Two nights, not sure how long I will stay more, Mark and family is super nice. A cool and relaxing hostel. He has built Banos and duchess in the parking lot especially for overlanders. I really had great time. Beautiful swimming pool to cool off.

Very nice vibe and kind owners. Met some other travellers there as well. They are happy to have cyclists there. Paid 5 dollars to pitch my tent. Also i pitched it under the roof (which is a lifesaver if you’re travelling during hurricane season)

Place as described, it was great!
We stayed for about a month in June, then parked our car on their premises for two months, and stayed another week in September before leaving to Honduras.
Can't thank them enough for their nice company, their daughter baby sitting our kids so we could run arrons (or surf together), their support in working through all the aduana paperwork to extend our TIP, and many other things.

Paid 15usd with 2p and 2 kids incl full use of the hostal facilities, electricity, etc.
Mark is a scuba diving instructor with about a zillion padi certificates under his belt, so you can take a test dive in the pool, get your open water with him, or go diving in the ocean/lake. They do tours, taxi services across the borders, epic kayaks for rent to kill yourself in the surf, surfboard rental, scooter rent, airport shuttle and agood doctor as a neighbor if you break something (like your pinky toe..).

Oh, and they have hammocks as well :)

A great place to stay. It's owned and run by a lovely Dutch/El Salvadorean family who were very welcoming. They're still building their parking area but our Sprinter fit easily along with another small camper. Great facilities - clean swimming pool with a small kids pool too, well-equipped kitchen area, clean bathroom with shower, and lots of hammocks. We paid $5 per adult per night and this included parking and access to pool and all facilities. A few nice looking rooms too if you want a 'proper' bed. There's a peaceful beach very close by. Perfect for families or anyone looking for a peaceful beach stay. Our dog was welcome but I checked in advance. If you're visiting in the next few months contact them in advance as parking is limited until they complete the work around the hostel.

We spent 2 weeks here and it was Amazing! Whether you travel by van or backpack this is the perfect place (pool, hammock...everything). The family is absolutely lovely, the beach is very intimate and nice to learn surfing. Really to recommend!
